so ive been running my 3500+ at 9x280 and ran prime stable twice at around 8 hours. but today, while playing cs source, my system crashed and got a flash of a blue screen and saw blahblahblah "physical memory" at the bottom, but then my system restarted. didnt stay long enough for me to see what it was. im almost certain it wasnt the blue screen of death though. ive ran fairly prime stable at 9.5x275. should i change to that? or should i lower my settings altogether? tmings are 2.5-4-4-10-1T. vcore is 1.5ish and ram voltage is 2.7. thanks guys

sorry,its the 3500+. not 2500+

anyone?

Is that a Barton CPU and what mobo you got running at FSB 280?

But yeah, I'd back down on the OC if it crashed in games. I find that too annoying.

If you ran prime95 stable for 8 hours which is no easy feat then all of sudden you get that...i

I would say either the power supply is going or you overstressed some component and now it is failing...

What vcore did you use to get 9X280?? Whay vdimm??? How were the temps...

If we suspect the power supply check the rails to see if there is a bit more fluctuation now...could be a sign of flakiness...

Also 280fsb is high on a mobo maybe the mobo is damaged..I hope not cause I run 300fsb on mine!!!

i have an ocz powerstream 520w and i noticed from speedfan that my 1.5v fluctuates a little from 1.52 to 1.56. oh yea, my vcore is set at 8.3% so that would be 1.5? and then vdimm is at 2.7. my cpu is the WINCHESTER 3500+. sorry bout saying 2500 in the comment. my mobo is k8n neo2 and my ram is 2x512 ocz platinum rev 2.

Same mobo I have...I run right now at 1.47v (3.3% in bios) at 2.6ghz until I can get new bios and see if i can get 1.6v actual for 2700mhz...

The funny thing is I get a solid 1.57v (pretty solid...no movement) at 8.3% with only fluctuation under load of about .01-.02v

how is the 12v rail??

 

[Duvie]

Oh...also none of those voltage seem particularly damaging.....Have you ran memtest to make sure it is not the ram??? prime95 may not find a ram error unless you use the particular test....I use memtest cause it is better...Just let that run like 10 passes, all test, cache on...

hmm yea, that was one thing i did not run yet. i need to run mem test and check it out. but so far, my rails seem pretty stable. it could be my ram, i might be a tad disappointed, though, since you all have similar systems to me and run at higher oc's.
